Your reply reminds me that I would like to use The Great Debate forum for formal debates. Replies would be by turn between two opponents with moderation by two moderators, one evolutionist and one Creationist. Moderators would post comments after each reply in an attempt to a) give feedback; b) provide guidance; c) keep discussion focused; d) keep discussion understandable by the average person. Moderators would not be permitted to post content.
Debate would be limited to a certain number of posts by each side, maybe 10 or so. At the end of the debate the two moderators would each summarize, assess, and choose a winner. I expect that'll mean a tie most of the time.
There would be a parallel thread to the debate that everyone who wants to comment could post to.
How about a debate between you and Fred on Haldane's dilemma. Or if you feel this topic is exhausted (or has exhausted you
) then perhaps a different topic.
This opportunity is available to anyone, of course. I suggest it to you first because you already have a hot topic with Fred.
